Dr. Maria Montessori
Learning Through Discovery
The Montessori Method
The Montessori Method was founded by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, in 1907. She opened the first Casa dei Bambini (Children’s House) in Rome, where she introduced her child-centered approach based on hands-on learning, independence, and self-paced development.
Her method quickly gained global recognition for fostering curiosity, confidence, and critical thinking. Today, Montessori education is practiced worldwide, continuing to empower children with a lifelong love for learning.

Britt OkekeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had two children attended this in-home daycare, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience they had. Not only were they well cared for, but they were truly loved while they were there. The environment is nurturing, educational, and structured in a way that supports each child’s growth at their own pace. Najnin is incredibly kind, compassionate, and patient. She has a true gift for working with children and makes each one feel valued and supported. Paula LiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has attended Amber Meadows Montessori for the past two years. Najnin is a highly experienced certified Montessori teacher and has a wonderful environment for children to thrive in. It's also very clean and has a nice outdoor playground. JustinmzackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our kids than Amber Meadows Montessori! Najnin is so kind, caring, and thoughtful. Frances CarstensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amber Meadows has been a wonderful experience for our daughter! I know she is cared for, safe and in a protective environment. She has learned social as well academic skills, as well as developed friendships. Would highly recommend and very appreciative of her time at Amber Meadows Montessori! -Amber and Chaim Carstens Nitin ShindeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been so happy with Najnin's Montessori program! My son started with her at age 2, and she's provided a wonderfully nurturing and stimulating environment. He's thrived with the hands-on activities – he loved the practical life skills like pouring and sorting, and the beautiful art projects. Najnin is incredibly compassionate and truly cares for each child as an individual. We feel so lucky to have found such a warm and enriching place for him to learn and grow. Highly recommend! Justin BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Najnin was a great teacher and took great care of our son and he always talked about her and his friends when home (and still does). He always came home singing a new song he learned or his ABC's. Being 2 he was one of the youngest but he had made great friends while there. The only reason we had to leave was my recent career change, if it weren't for that we would still have him enrolled and plan to as soon as the timing works out again!
